Translated from the Portuguese by Emmi Baum. 533 pages. hardcover. TYPOGRAPHY, BINDING, AND JACKET DESIGN BY Warren Chappell. keywords: Latin America Brazil Literature Translated. DESCRIPTION - The three autobiographical novels (or, alternatively, fictionalized memoirs) here translated as Plantation Boy are wholly characteristic works of Jose Lins do Rêgo (1901-57), a key figure in modern Brazilian literature. They tell the story of Carlos de Melo and his growing up on his grandfather's sugar-cane plantation in northeastern Brazil early in the present century; his experiences at a boarding school; and his final, futile effort to adjust himself-after being graduated from law school-to adult life back on the plantation. The three consecutive novels (Men mo de Engenho, Doidinho, and Ban güê) are, as a Brazilian critic said, 'about all Brazil and, a little, about the whole world.' They present not only the education and evolution of a neurotic young man, but also a wonderfully immediate and believable picture of the sugar-cane culture and economy of the 1900-30 era in Brazil's always problematical Northeast Heartland. In Menino de Engenho (Plantation Boy), Carlos de Melo tells the story of his own life on the plantation from the day when his father murdered his mother until his grandfather is ready to send him to boarding school after his twelfth birthday. Doidinho (roughly Little Fool) takes Carlos through his school years and his pathetic, often amusingly sharp, efforts to achieve self-respect in a sometimes severely hostile environment in which, naturally, several varieties of sex burgeon. Ban güê (Little Sugar Plantation) shows Carlos as an educated man who loves his land but is lured by the city, who is nervously and sexually afflicted, and who finally is unable to carry on either the plantation or his own life in the patriarchal tradition of his grandfather. Regarded by many Brazilians as a national classic, the present trilogy provides an intimate, authentic account of the sort of growing up and environment which produced many of Brazil's leading writers and other intellectuals. inventory #15381 Remainder Stamp On Front Free Endpaper, Otherwise Very Good in Worn Dustjacket.
